Olimpia Milano: Tonut Is Thriving with the National Team; His Future Is at a Crossroads

In the friendly match won by Italy against Slovenia (86-83), Tonut was the standout player for the Azzurri. The Biancorossi forward scored 18 points in 22 minutes on the court, shooting a perfect 4-for-4 from three-point range. A remarkable performance that underscores 32-year-old Tonut’s desire to prove he can still make a difference on the court.

With his contract with Olimpia Milano set to expire, Tonut must decide his future. There is talk of a possible move to Basketball Club Roma SPQR. The newly formed Rome-based club has already announced Mannion. Now it could also add the former Reyer Venezia player to its roster.

Some are hoping for a breakthrough with Olimpia Milano. At the moment, the national team is led by Ramondino, who will be Poeta’s assistant at EA7. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to discuss the situation and determine whether the conditions are right to continue working together.

After spending the entire postseason on the bench, Tonut wanted to remind everyone that he’s a national team player and that he’s capable of performing at his best. Now it remains to be seen whether he’ll continue playing in Milan or embark on a new adventure in Rome.
